Rats! on Broadway (Cabaret Noir Version)

Описание: Hi! Welcome to my channel. All songs here are a collaboration between my subconscious, my conscious, and two types of AI. In short, they are dream songs. I've kept dream journals since 2002. I use ChatGPT to select the dreams and create genre prompts. I edit the lyrics and genres myself to get things right and I use Suno to make the songs. I've created about 20-30 songs per year of dream journaling. I'll slowly be adding them here. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Driving through Manhattan dusk
In a beat-up car with tourist trust
We pull to the curb and squint our eyes
A theater sign—rodent surprise!

“Rats! on Broadway,” the marquee cries
In a sleazy club where dignity dies
The ticket girl has a scuffed-up bell
“Two-fifty cash?” “That’s steep as hell...”

[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s a key with a drink attached
And whispers of cheese in a sewer patch
Mayumi nods and crosses the street
I grip the key and feel the heat

[Chorus]
🎭 Rats! on Broadway! dancing down the trashline
Scamper with a showtune, curse in half-time
Gnawing at the edges of polite decay—
It’s just another night off Broadway

[Verse 2]
Bar next door with wood-slat walls
Inside we wait as a bottle calls
Three men laugh, I feel half-lit
But I haven’t even had a sip

I ask for a Mule, but I was too late—
No copper cups left to consecrate
So I mumble, “Melon Ball,” try to pivot
The bartender nods and serves it with spirit

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The cops are loitering by my car
The bartender chuckles, “That’s brave, you are”
I fake a smile and raise my glass
But I know I’ve gotta move my ass

[Chorus 2]
🎭 Rats! on Broadway! clawing through the footlights
Dancing to a saxophone in cabaret tights
From gutter to glory, from scum to play—
It’s just another dream off Broadway

[Bridge – Slow, sultry, like a smoky stage interlude]
Mayumi’s back with a laugh so dry
“Still got that key?” “Yeah, but don’t ask why…”
We sip in rhythm, in grim delight
The show's begun—tonight’s the night

[Final Chorus – Big, over-the-top, spotlight finale]
🎭 Rats! on Broadway! the curtain's torn and glowing
They dance like prophets, madness showing
No refund slips, no glamour pay—
Just squeaks and lights and moral gray

🎭 Rats! on Broadway!
You’ll never look at shows the same way
